Estimated Native Range
Summary
Oxalis trilliifolia, commonly known as Threeleaf Woodsorrel or Wood-sorrel, is a perennial herb native to the Pacific Northwest of the United States. It is often found in moist, shaded environments such as deciduous forests and along stream banks. This plant typically grows at a moderate rate to a height and width of 0.5-1 feet (0.15-0.3 meters). Its trifoliate leaves resemble clover, and it produces white flowers that bloom in the spring.
. It is occasionally used in shade gardens, as a ground cover, or in naturalized woodland plantings. It thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers medium draining soils, including clay, loam, or sandy types, with consistent moisture. While it is not particularly drought-tolerant, it can adapt to various soil conditions as long as they are well-drained.CC BY-SA 4.0
